Communication device, automatic message reply method and system

Abstract

A communication device includes an automatic message reply system. The automatic message reply system includes a presetting unit, a storing unit, a searching unit, an obtaining unit, and a reply unit. The presetting unit receives users operation to preset at least one set of key words, and at least one reply message corresponding to the at least one set of key words. The storing unit stores the at least one set of key words, and the at least one reply message corresponding to the at least one set of key words preset by the presetting unit. The searching unit searches whether a received message contains a set of key words. The obtaining unit obtains a preset reply message corresponding to the set of key words if the received message contains the set of key words. The reply unit sends a message obtained by the obtaining unit to the sender of the received message.

1 . A communication device comprising:
 a communication system used to exchange data with other communication device; and   an automatic message reply system comprising:
 a presetting unit for receiving users operation to preset at least one set of key words, and at least one reply message corresponding to the at least one set of key words; 
 a storing unit storing the at least one set of key words, and the at least one reply message corresponding to the at least one set of key words preset by the presetting unit; 
 a searching unit for searching whether a received message contains a set of key words; 
 an obtaining unit obtaining a preset reply message corresponding to the set of key words if the received message contains the set of key words; and 
 a reply unit for sending a message obtained by the obtaining unit to the sender of the received message via the communication unit. 
   
     
     
         2 . The communication device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein: the presetting unit further presets a default reply message; and the obtaining unit obtains the default reply message if the received message does not contain any sets of key words. 
     
     
         3 . The communication device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the default reply message comprises a description of a current activity or why the message cannot be replied promptly. 
     
     
         4 . The communication device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each set of key words comprises one or more key words. 
     
     
         5 . The communication device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein if the received message contains a number of sets of key words, the obtaining unit will randomly obtain a preset reply message from the group consisting of the preset reply messages corresponding to the number of sets of key words. 
     
     
         6 . An automatic message reply method comprising:
 presetting at least one set of key words, and at least one reply message corresponding to the at least one set of key words;   receiving a message from a sender;   searching whether the received message contains a set of key words, and obtaining a preset message corresponding to the set of key words if the received message contains a set of key words; and   sending the obtained message to the sender.   
     
     
         7 . The automatic message reply method as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising presetting a default reply message, and obtaining the default reply message if the received message does not contain any sets of key words. 
     
     
         8 . The automatic message reply method as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the default reply message comprises a description of a current activity or why the message cannot be replied promptly. 
     
     
         9 . The automatic message reply method as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein each set of key words comprises one or more key words. 
     
     
         10 . The automatic message reply method as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein if the received message contains a number of sets of key words, the obtained preset reply message will be selected from the group consisting of the preset reply messages corresponding to the number of sets of key words randomly. 
     
     
         11 . An automatic message reply system of a communication device comprising:
 a presetting unit for receiving users operation to preset at least one set of key words, and at least one reply message corresponding to the at least one set of key words;   a storing unit storing the at least one set of key words, and the at least one reply message corresponding to the at least one set of key words preset by the presetting unit;   a searching unit for searching whether a received message of the communication device contains a set of key words;   an obtaining unit obtaining a preset reply message corresponding to the set of key words if the received message contains the set of key words; and   a reply unit for sending a message obtained by the obtaining unit to the sender of the received message.   
     
     
         12 . The automatic message reply system as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein: the presetting unit further presets a default reply message; and the obtaining unit obtains the default reply message if the received message does not contain any sets of key words. 
     
     
         13 . The automatic message reply system as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the default reply message comprises a description of a current activity or why the message cannot be replied promptly. 
     
     
         14 . The automatic message reply system as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein each set of key words comprises one or more key words. 
     
     
         15 . The automatic message reply system as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein if the received message contains a number of sets of key words, the obtaining unit will randomly obtain a preset reply message from the group consisting of the preset reply messages corresponding to the number of sets of key words.
